BREAKING: Peter Obi Claims Governors Warned Him ‘Don’t Come to Our State’ – Sparks Fresh Outrage

In a recent interview on Advocacy for Good Governance, on Friday, July 23, 2026, Peter Obi, the NDC presidential candidate, discussed what he described as the challenges he has encountered while carrying out political engagements in different parts of Nigeria. He said the country should remain a place where every citizen can move freely irrespective of political affiliation.

Obi argued that democracy requires an atmosphere in which political leaders and their supporters are able to campaign peacefully without restrictions. He said attempts to discourage legitimate political activities weaken public confidence in democratic institutions and the rule of law.

Speaking during the interview, Obi stated, “One to three governors have told me, ‘Don’t come to our state.’ Has anyone ever told you that?” while responding to questions about his earlier claims of political intimidation. He used the remark to illustrate what he described as unequal treatment faced by some opposition figures.Achieve Your Desires. (In Your Undertakings) Business world. Career. Private or government work. Selection/approval. Elevation/ promotion. Leadership position. Power of command. Leadership tussle. People/crowd. Favor in high places. Breakthrough. Etc. Quick results without blemish. A trial is enough to convince you. For spiritual consultation, guidance, solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr. J.A. Faros on 07030514063. Unlimited power of God.

According to Obi, no politician should be denied access to any part of the country because elections are about presenting ideas to the electorate. He maintained that every Nigerian should enjoy the constitutional right to freedom of movement and association without fear of harassment or discrimination.

The NDC presidential candidate further stated that governments should focus on creating a level playing field for all contestants, ensuring that campaigns are conducted peacefully and that institutions remain neutral throughout the electoral process.

Obi concluded by urging political leaders to promote tolerance and mutual respect, emphasizing that democratic progress depends on protecting the rights of both those in government and those in opposition.See more
